We consider the problem of the visualisation of life courses represented as sequences. We describe the state of the art and introduce new plots which improve the graphical display of sequences unveiling their most salient features. Our proposal is based upon the application of smoothing techniques, reducing if not completely removing individual noises. The advantages of our plots are illustrated using data from the Panel study of Social Integration in the Netherlands (PSIN).

Abstract
We consider the problem of the visualisation of life courses represented as sequences. We describe the state of the art and introduce new plots which improve the graphical display of sequences unveiling their most salient features. Our proposal is based upon the application of smoothing techniques, reducing if not completely removing individual noises. The advantages of our plots are illustrated using data from the Panel study of Social Integration in the Netherlands (PSIN).File in questo prodotto:
